    Cooke’s hit on Savard reignites endless firestorm on respect, safety

    “He falls; he concusses” seems well on its way to becoming a phrase as synonymous with NHL hockey as “he shoots; he scores”.  Yesterday afternoon, late in the Penguins’ 2-1 victory over visiting Boston, Pittsburgh left wing Matt Cooke lifted his left elbow or forearm just enough to deliver a check to Boston forward Marc Savard as [...]

    Black and Gold ramblings of the wounded fan…

    It wasn’t all that long ago that the Garden (TD Bank, or TD Bank North, or whatever the heck the name of the week was at the time) stood half-empty with uninspired, mostly bitter Bruins observers – sprinkled with the “die hard” fan.  The team had been gutted by management following the lock-out and the [...]

    Wings Whip the Predators 5-2

    In their game the previous night against the L.A. Kings, the Nashville Predators did the little things that led to a victory.
